Heritage, culture and traditions
Corsica’s uniqueness, all that makes it an island that is one of a kind in the Mediterranean, also has to do with its heritage, a true reflection of its complex history. This history is apparent in the anthropomorphic menhirs of Filitosa and the Castelli of Alta Rocca, and in the Genoese citadels on the coast, the churches of Castagniccia with their rich Baroque décors and also in the island’s ancient remains.
Corsica’s living culture, perpetuated by centuries of customs and traditions, finds its full expression in music, speech and craftwork. This means that the countless cultural events and rural fairs that take place become the showcase for a culture, way of life and traditional crafts that all but died out with the society of which they formed a part.
In the wake of an assertion of identity, a movement for cultural reappropriation – Riacquistu – succeeded in championing the traditions of a society and, above all, its primary means of expression: language.
